One NFL analyst isn’t bullish on Texans

We know it’s early, but according to one NFL observer, the forecast looks the same for the Texans.

Brian Billick, the former Ravens coach and Fox Sports analyst, has his post-draft power rankings and puts the Texans at No. 8.

That is behind Denver, Baltimore and New England in the AFC, just like last year.

His comment: The post-Manning era in the AFC South hasn’t been as friendly to the Texans as many had predicted. The Colts are the younger and more explosive team and may have already closed the gap in the division.

The Texans may have their first chip on their shoulder. And we haven’t had rookie camp yet.
